Wouldn't that be nice, but most people nowadays either 1.) don't know
that they are sending out HTML messages with screwy formatting (e.g.
itty-bitty 4-point blue text), or 2.) don't care, or 3.) don't know how
to change anything in their browsers anyway, or 4.) think the world
should move with the times and non-Windows users don't signify... or
some or all of the above.
On the other hand, improvements to email such as HTML and MIME allow us
to easily send messages with a much broader context. There's some good
reasons. Messages with automatic text-wrapping are easier to read,
adding color and images can provide more understanding (explaining a
graphic problem is a LOT easier when you can use a picture!), and so on.
It is better if you can assemble the larger amount of resources needed
to support it all.
The best of both worlds would be for people to use the appropriate
medium for their message, but anything that makes email even harder for
most people to use (like chnaging a setting) just isn't going to happen.
Better move with the times... Microsoft needs to have something
constantly getting more complicated or their programmers will nothing to
do.
But I thought you were reading all the MapInfo-L off one of those email
web page services now. Isn't it all HTML there?
